- Hip hop or whatever, Beasties win over 3rd Bass any way you look at it.
-
- They are artists in the every sense of the word. Check the videos. Check
- the lyrics on Paul's Boutique. Then check 'em again. Check out Cookie
- Puss.
-
- Don't get me wrong, 3rd Bass had some dope shit - the cactus had great
- tracks and I listen to it still.( Soul in the Hole. MMMM, niiiice ) The
- GASface video was dope. Richie Rich is a fantastic DJ. BUT they will
- always live in the shadow of the Beastie Boys.....
-
- Wassup with them trying to diss B-boys on "Stymies Theme"? If you listen
- to the lyrics real close, you can pick up some real subtle stuff that is
- very much anti- beastie. THEY DID NOT OPENLY DISS EM BECAUSE THEY KNEW
- THEY HAD NO CLOUT.
-
- The Beastie Boys, despite their antics, are much deeper than 3rd Bass,
- who, especially on Derelicts, represent the common clay of hip hop. I've
- heard most of this shit before. Even ZLO and Nice and Smooth couldn't
- save that one. What I'm trying to say is, they fell the fuck off!
-
- My roommate once read where Serch used to come over to Mike D's house
- and try to be his friend. D used to sit in his bed and throw stuff at
- Serch and laugh at him. "hey Serch, here it comes!"
-
- The bottom line is, the Beastie Boys will continue to redefine and push
- the borders of hip hop - and 3rd Bass will go down as a group with a
- good debut and not much more.
